Was going thru some family stuff and found a lock blade.

It says KING inside of a Crown w/ 0657 engraved below it.

On the other side it says Ats - 34

It has stag handle..very nice blade.

Ill try and get pics..

Just trying to found out anything on it, web came up with very little.

ATS-34 is the Hitachi version of CPM-154.  It's a good knife steel.

All I can find is a Ralph King lock back on rubylane.com with markings like you describe, but I can't find any information on that maker. 154CM, ATS34, CPM154, and RWL34 all have the same alloy composition, but 154CM and ATS34 are traditional ingot steels while CPM154 and RWL34 are produced using powder metallurgy processes.

I've had King a folding locker for 35 years.  First really nice knife I ever had, bought it at a boating store.  Will keep an edge really well.  I've skinned many a deer with that knife.
